Kartik Aaryan to lead cast of ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa’ sequel?

A few weeks ago, it was announced that a sequel was in the works for the 2007 comedy-thriller, ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa’ helmed by Bhushan Kumar. Since then, rumours have been rife about the cast.

At the time, a source told Mumbai Mirror, “Bhushan wanted to make a part 2 of Bhool Bhulaiyaa for a while now and has cracked an idea with Farhad Samji, who will be writing and directing the film. It is in the development stage and will feature a fresh cast. Once the final script is locked, the team will kick off casting and other pre-production formalities.”

Kartik Aaryan is said to be firm favourite to bag the lead role in the film. A source told the publication, “While the makers have locked the idea, the script is still to be finalised. But the idea was shared with Kartik who liked it and has agreed to take the franchise forward with the story set in a metropolis.”

The source added, “The director will be locked in a few days, following which they will decide on the leading lady and the rest of the cast. Bhushan always wanted to continue with Bhool Bhulaiyaa and is invested in the film. He is looking to start filming by the year-end.”
